The Academy of Athens, designed in 1859 by Danish architect Theophil Hansen, quite fittingly employs the architectural language of ancient Greece: an example of Greek Revival architecture in the heart of the Greek capital.

Grand Hotel Pupp, a luxury 5-star hotel and one of Europe’s grand, historic hotels located in the historical center of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic. Dating back to 1701 and built as the Saxony Hall by Burgomaster Deiml, the Pop/Pupp family purchased the property in 1890, and between 1896 and 1907 Viennese architects rebuilt the property into the neo-baroque hotel as seen today.

A real French masterpiece around 1830 with great secrets.
Born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1929, Grace Kelly was the ultimate Hollywood muse, and Alfred Hitchcock's favorite actress, throughout her 7 year long cinematic career until, at the age of 27, she embraced the role of Princess of Monaco. Two separate destinies that fit her like a glove, as with her impeccably wavy blonde hair, her milky complexion and sparkling eyes, she transcended, be it on screen or in the city, with her dazzling beauty and unrivalled grace.

The Bank of England appears as a fantastic ruin.This is not an image of decay, however, but a triumphant depiction in the form of a cut-away perspective of the greatest architectural commission awarded in late Georgian London. John Soane became architect to the Bank in 1788 and from 1798 it became the task of the painter Joseph Gandy to memorialise and glorify the result – culminating with this visionary rendering in 1830.

Henryk Siemiradzki - Conversation by the Spring

Siemiradzki (1843 - 1902) depicts the young couple utterly absorbed in their conversation and in each other, which he echoes in the poses of the goats on the right of the composition and the delicate red flowers which tumble around the decorative pool draws in the eye of the viewer with their vivid colour and freshness. In its unabashed celebration of youth and beauty, the present lot is an exceptional example of its genre.
Daniel Murtagh is a portrait photographer who cares about the human experience, he wants viewers to feel rather than just see, and creates a sense of time.
